Case Studies

Today, KCS West utilizes nearly every module in ProjectSight, including budget tracking, document control, drawings, and specifications. It serves as the single platform for their operations work, creating a hub of information that administrators, superintendents, project managers, subcontractors, A/E's and owners can access. "Before ProjectSight, we had superintendents filling out Daily Construction Reports long hand, administrators working from a separate database and project managers were still working in the old software or on custom spreadsheets that required triple entry of the same information. Now, we've centralized all that, not just on a project level, but also on a company level. Sr. management can get real time insight into any of the projects at any time, whether on the cost or document side." Standardized safety information was uploaded. Now superintendents have started using checklists embedded in ProjectSight for project safety. ProjectSight's mobile app allows superintendents to access the forms they need while in the field. Implementing a Real-Time Information Hub "At the end of it, we landed on ProjectSight for a few key reasons. One was Trimble's commitment to the product. They promised upgrades and we saw them follow through with that. Another was ProjectSight's support both before and during the implementation process. That was extremely helpful to us." - Dan Bentil, Project Manager Bentil and his colleagues spent the next year and a half conducting market research and vetting potential products. They reviewed five options by seeking demos, talking with other users, and evaluating their capabilities. "At the end of it, we landed on ProjectSight for a few key reasons," Bentil says. "One was Trimble's commitment to the product. They promised upgrades and we saw them follow through with that." Another was ProjectSight's support both before and during the implementation process. "That was extremely helpful to us." KCS West teams also appreciated ProjectSight's emphasis on user input and willingness to listen to feedback. "Being able to request capabilities and functions that would help our business, and seeing them deliver those, has been an important piece for us," says Bentil. "Some products we looked at were a little rigid, but we've been able to configure ProjectSight to operate the way we want to use it." Vetting a Solution ProjectSight ®
